for owners of reactive, high-drive, or unreliable dogs who are tired of stressful walks, conflicting advice, and never knowing whether they are training correctly.
This is not another course you are left to complete alone.
You implement the training.
I watch what is happening, correct the details, adjust the plan, and help you progress safely.
Ben often described Leo as “Jekyll and Hyde.”
At home, he was fine. But the second another dog appeared, it was like a switch flipped.
After joining the 8-Week Reactive to Off-Lead programme, everything started to change.
By week five, Leo was walking inches past other dogs, calmly and under control.
If you want to hear how it happened (and what was different this time), click the video and listen to Ben explain it himself.
The problem isn't knowing what you should do...
The problem is knowing exactly what to do when your dog starts staring...
stops responding...
becomes over-aroused...
ignores food or reacts before you can regain control.
A self-study course cannot tell you that your timing is late, your handling is unclear, or the environment is too difficult for your dog today.
And conflicting advice from different trainers often leaves you more confused than when you started.
That does not mean you are incapable of training your dog.
It means you have been trying to solve a practical, changing problem without someone watching what is actually happening.
We start by identifying exactly where your dog is struggling You practise and submit short footage showing what is happening.
I identify the most important change and give you the next step.
You apply the correction during your next sessions.
You train twice per day for approximately 20 minutes, following the goals agreed for your dog.
When your dog demonstrates that they are ready, we increase the difficulty.
When your dog is struggling, we reduce the difficulty or adjust the plan.
This prevents you from spending weeks practising the wrong thing or giving your dog more freedom before they are prepared for it.
A structured coaching and implementation programme designed to build engagement, control, neutrality, recall under distraction and appropriate off-lead freedom.
Improve handling, communication, engagement and daily routine before increasing difficulty.
Recognise fixation, adjust working distance, reduce intensity and improve recovery.
Rebuild recall through progressively harder situations, E-Collar work and distraction control.
Assess reliability, environment, neutrality, freedom and safety before removing the lead.
Sam told me they couldn’t even walk Moose down the street without him exploding.
He’d lunge, bark, completely lose it and every walk felt like a military operation just to avoid a reaction.
After joining the 8-Week Reactive to Off-Lead programme, they finally had a clear structure to follow.
Step by step, things started settling.
Recently, Sam walked Moose past over 50 dogs in one outing - calmly, under control, no drama.
When Jane joined the programme, walks with Chilli were stressful.
Chilli was anxious around people and other dogs, and like most owners in that position, Jane just started avoiding situations. Early mornings. Late evenings. Keeping distance wherever possible.
Inside the programme, we didn’t just follow a generic plan. We looked at Chilli specifically... her triggers, her patterns, Jane’s timing and adjusted things week by week.
Now Jane can walk past other dogs calmly and even sit in a café without being on edge.
Watch click on the video to listen to her story.
Behaviour, triggers, recall, equipment, routine, goals and starting footage.
Weekly priorities adapted to your dog’s starting point and progress.
Small-group calls with individual troubleshooting and next steps.
Priority videos reviewed each week with clear corrections.
Ask questions, share clips, report walks and avoid waiting a full week.
Demonstrations covering engagement, lead work, recall, neutrality and more.
Assess if, when and where your dog is ready for more freedom.
Know how to respond when training does not progress in a straight line.
Track engagement, trigger distance, intensity, recovery, confidence and recall.
If you join this programme and genuinely show up - you follow the plan, train consistently, attend the calls (or watch the replays), ask for help when needed, and apply the feedback... then you’re covered.
If within the first 30 days you’re not seeing meaningful progress and don’t feel confident this is working for you, you can request a refund.
You do not need another collection of videos telling you what dog training should look like.
You need someone to see what is happening with your dog, correct the details, adjust the plan, and help you progress safely.
Will this programme work if I have already tried other trainers, online courses, or YouTube videos?
Most people who join have already tried several forms of training.
The problem is often not a lack of information or effort. It is that nobody has been watching the training closely enough to identify what needs to change.
Inside this programme, you receive a plan adapted to your dog, direct feedback on your training footage, weekly coaching, and ongoing support.
Instead of being left to decide whether you are doing everything correctly, you receive clear adjustments based on what is actually happening with your dog.
Previous training does not disqualify you. It often gives us useful information about what has already been tried, what helped, and where the process broke down.
What makes this different from a normal online dog-training course?
A normal online course gives you information and leaves you to apply it alone.
This is an online implementation programme.
That means you do the training, submit footage, receive feedback, and follow a plan that can be adjusted as your dog progresses.
The programme includes:
A personalised starting assessment.
An adapted training roadmap.
Weekly live coaching.
Individual troubleshooting inside the group calls.
Direct feedback on your training videos.
WhatsApp support and accountability.
Progress tracking.
Clear standards for moving toward off-lead freedom.
You are not simply given a library of videos and told to work everything out yourself.
Is this programme suitable for severe reactivity or aggression?
It may be, but every dog must be assessed individually.
The programme can support owners dealing with lunging, barking, fixation, over-arousal, reactivity, prey drive, and unreliable behaviour.
However, some cases may require additional in-person support.
This may apply where there is:
A serious bite history.
Unpredictable aggression.
Aggression directed toward people in the household.
A suspected pain or medical issue.
A significant risk to children.
A situation that cannot be managed safely through online coaching.
You will be asked about your dog’s history during the application process. If the programme is not the safest or most appropriate option, I will tell you honestly.
What results could I realistically expect within the first few weeks?
Many owners begin noticing improvements in engagement and control during the first 7 days.
Early progress may include:
More voluntary check-ins.
Faster responses to known commands.
Better lead handling.
No more pulling on the lead.
Improved ability to regain attention.
A clearer daily routine.
Greater owner confidence.
A better understanding of the dog’s triggers and threshold.
Reactivity and recall are normally progressed in stages.
The first goal is to create a stronger foundation before testing the dog in more difficult environments.
How much training will I need to complete each day?
You should be prepared to train twice per day for approximately 20 minutes per session.
That is roughly 40 minutes of focused training each day.
Some of the work will be included within your normal walks and routine.
The sessions do not need to be long or complicated. They need to be deliberate and consistent.
The quality of the training matters more than exhausting the dog with lengthy sessions.
What happens if I struggle to stay consistent?
Consistency is one of the main reasons the programme includes accountability and support.
You will have:
Clear weekly goals.
A personalised plan.
A progress tracker.
Weekly coaching.
WhatsApp accountability.
Help adjusting the plan when life becomes difficult.
Missing one session does not mean you have failed.
The important thing is to communicate, restart quickly, and avoid allowing one missed day to become several missed weeks.
We can also look at how to fit training into your normal walks and routine rather than treating every session as an additional major task.
How do the weekly coaching calls work?
There is one live group coaching call each week.
The call lasts approximately one hour.
We go around the group and discuss each member’s:
Progress.
Problems.
Training footage.
Current sticking points.
Weekly priorities.
Next steps.
The calls combine individual coaching with group learning.
You receive help with your own dog while also learning from situations experienced by other owners.
How does the WhatsApp support work?
You will join the programme WhatsApp group.
You can use it to:
Ask questions.
Share progress.
Report what happened on a walk.
Request clarification.
Receive accountability.
Submit agreed training footage.
Avoid waiting until the next weekly call for help.
The group is active throughout the programme.
It is designed to help you solve problems while they are still small.
How does the video-feedback process work?
You submit a short clip showing the exercise or problem you need help with.
I review:
Your timing.
Your handling.
Your dog’s body language.
The environment.
The level of distraction.
Your reward or correction.
The moment the exercise begins to break down or succeed.
You then receive a clear explanation of what to keep, what to change, and what to practise next.
Feedback may be provided through:
A written message.
A voice note.
A demonstration.
A marked-up or edited breakdown.
An adjustment to your plan.
What training methods do you use?
I use a balanced, practical approach adapted to the dog and owner.
The training may include:
Motivation and reinforcement.
Clear communication.
Structure.
Management.
Engagement work.
Appropriate boundaries.
Fair consequences.
Carefully selected equipment.
Gradual exposure.
Real-world proofing.
The aim is not to force every dog through one fixed method.
The aim is to use clear, fair, and effective training that the owner can apply consistently.
